Kirkland vs Montiel FULL FIGHT: December 26, 2020 - PBC on FOX
In the 10-round middleweight co-main event, Los Mochis, Mexico's hard-punching Juan Macias Montiel (25-4-2, 22 KOs) quickly stopped knockout artist James Kirkland (34-3, 30 KOs) of Austin, Texas, dropping him three times and finishing the fight just 1:56 into the first round.
Within the first 30 seconds, Montiel sent Kirkland down with a left hook to the temple and put him down again soon after with a follow-up series of uppercuts and left hands. An unsteady-looking Kirkland rose for the second time, looking to continue fighting, but was sent back to the canvas for the third and final time from a strong barrage culminated by a Montiel right hand. Referee Jerry Cantu waved off the fight and awarded Montiel the upset victory.

The problem with Kirkland is he never developed defense
Exactly
His defense was to use his face 😅
All those wars caught up to Kirkland. Painful to watch him go out like that. He gave us some memorable fights.
Most definitely
He used to be my fav round 2011 sad.....
Very true
That Ann Wolfe sparring/training camp took it's toll too. 🤮🤮🤮Man Wolfe overworked her fighters and made them spar too hard, probably trying to prove some non existent point. That's why she got no fighters left.
@Your Neighbor no big names, but probably amateurs and pros + she trained her daughter who looked like her as a fighter, thought she would do something. Her gym closed down so I guess they all left (including Kirkland, who's still undefeated with her in the corner, but that type of training/sparring takes a toll, especially when you can't move your head like Hearns/Toney who also went to war during sparring, but atleast they moved their head better)
Kirkland is gonna be that dude you're afraid to hear from in 7-8 years cause you know he's gonna be barely able to talk or walk. Guy needs to quit, like 5 years ago.
With no help from the ref who put him back in there, yet in other videos on this same channel people talk smack about a ref stopping an 18 year old kids fight after he blacked out and couldnt clearly respond to the ref smh...
Commentators kept talking about Kirkland the puncher and ignored the other puncher, all win by KO?
Thinking the same thing.
Kirkland is a done fighter, wtf are you dudes talking about
@@christianbozwell4981 they're saying commentators keep calling his opponents "non punchers" when in fact they all knocked him out.
@@allwoundup3574 That's not what the original commenter was talking about.
This was hard to watch.
You can see in his eyes were he wanted to keep on fighting but his body was failing him. This was hard to watch.
He's done..time to hang up his Gloves for good.
Canelas did miss so 😒
It was satisfying to watch, kirkland put unnecessary beatings on his sparring partners go search that shit up
@@saabastiana4111 only recently saw that, it was fuckin shocking, cant believe he did it or the people there allowed it to go on, sickening.
So sad to see a veteran warrior like Kirkland go out like this.
reminds me of Meldrick Taylor
The saddest was Ali getting his ass kicked by Holmes when he was 40. Ali shouldn't have been fighting as he was already showing signs of Parkinson's. Edit: Tyson avenged Ali, though.
He deserves this
@@cyberhype5495 idk about that but it's definitely karma. I've seen sparring where Kirkland is beating opponents behind the head with some hard as punches, and KNOWING an opponent cant defend himself he'll just keep punching
Veteran of what?
The most slow motion fight. Kirkland should retire.
I'm a fan of James Kirkland (he use to be this explosive warrior). I hope he stops fighting for his health , he already gave me "as-a-fan" some exciting fights. . . . . . .
You are loyal fan , proud
@أنا شاذ ، غبي وبكم WOW . That's news to me. I didn't know that he did his sparring partners dirty. (Anne Wolfe should have had him working with 168 pounders or light heavyweights) . Thats how Errol Spence does it.
@أنا شاذ ، غبي وبكم I see , yeah he definitely has a bad atitude.
I hope he keeps fighting
There wasn't way this fight went to the distance, look at both boxers record they kill or get killed.
Sad to see how some vets just don't know when to quit for there own good , kirk was a beast
They need the money
True but at the same time 37 fights only 3 losses. Got to be hard to walk away with a record like that..There are fighters who hung around way later with more losses. His problem is he’s just not that good. He was able to knock out lesser competition but when he moved up we all saw the extent of his flaws.
Never respected Kirkland after i found out what he used to do to sparring partners.
At 32-2 he still had a lot of promise. Wasn’t even 40 years old yet. Now this knockout is enough for him
Kirkland said "what happen" 🤣
Damn....just call it James it’s over.
If PBC was really trying to build Kirkland back up into a contender. They probably shouldn't have put him in with a dude who won all his fights by KO.
Es triste ver a kirkland ser derrotado asi despues de q fue un gran guerrero dajador, deberia retirarse antes de q pueda ser lastimado, saludos desde México!!
*He just doesn't learn...* Its not his age it's him He just won't learn from his mistakes
Montiel is a bad ass, beautiful shots. 👌
Poor Kirkland, they gotta stop letting him fight.
I used to live in Austin TX. Got to meet Kirkland he's a really cool guy. Wish him nothing but the best in life.
Was never the same when he let Wolfe go as his head trainer.
He was never the same after prison
Everyone has their own journey and their own demons to slay🙏
Much Respect to Kirkland for his bravery and determination!!!! Respectfully time to retire to preserve your overall health!!! Possibly could be a successful coach!!! In his prime was a good fighter!!
Did the ref really ask" do you want some more"? Wtf???😵 @ 5:51 & 6:14 what happened? Poor guy needs to give it up
I heard that too, but perhaps the referee meant, do you want more fighting as if to say do you want to continue?
Unexpected AF boxing family!! Time to hang the gloves thanks for the awesome memories much love to both fighters 🥊🥊💯
Not really unexpected though with a kid with all wins by ko🤣 😝✌️ obviously he has Dynamite hands
If he was smart with that canelo money, he wouldn’t be in the ring now
Canelo should be ashamed to have Kirkland on his resume.
@@johnnyheartless11 🤣🤣🤣
Sad to see bruh go out like that 😓damn!!!
Kirkland had to retire the day after Canelo knocked him out
He had already been KO'd by a nobody before clenelo fought him. why do you think he chose to fight him at 155 instead of challenging for belts at 154? lol easy money.
@@thedhive6512 The guy you talking abount is Nobuhiro Ishida and this was a TKO and not nearly as bad as the Canelo Knockout where Canelo completle shut his lights out. After this fight Kirkland left the sport for more than 4 years
@@extractzero3317 No. Stop making it seem like all clenelo's opponents are only quality wins for him and they become trash after. Callum smith just came back and improved. Clenelo fought Kirkland on short notice and right after he got slaughtered by a bum. Kirkland was never special but stop making it seem like "oh clenelo permanently alters all his opps" that's goofy fanboy talk, most of his resume was already pre-washed anyways and the top tier dudes he fought he could barely hurt
@@thedhive6512 man did canelo declined a picture with you or why are you so salty
@@extractzero3317 you're sucking off a dude over beating kirkland lol sit down and shut up
After the Glen Tapia fight, I love seeing Kirkland get knocked out.
People are hating on Charlo because he is fighting Montiel next. Meanwhile Benevidez is fighting a guy with the same number of loses and who also got beat up by Charlo's leftovers and the racists are quiet on that.
@Mr Money team then how exactly does he get Black opponents? Lmao try again goofy
@Mr Money team Lets get something straight. Benevidez has fought absolutely nobody at all. Next. Andrade and Charlo both have 160 straps and until they vacate and move up that is what it is. You're so thirsty for former 154lbers to fight a cruiserweight but I bet you had none of this energy when Clenelo was at 154 and 160 with them then begged for the franchise witness protection belt to duck, called andrade "boring" and ran. Why aren't you pushing GGG to unify with Andrade or Charlo? GGG hasn't moved a single weight class at all either
@Mr Money team canelo gona get whooped by who?
Damn. This hurt me to my heart to James go down like this.
It was funny that's what he gets for never giving a fuck about any of his sparring partners
@@bryanrodasmendez2222 That’s major facts bro…
Beast mode. I might actually bet on this underdog against Charlo. Dervenchenko was too short and not enough reach but this kid has it.
I hope you didn't lose your money.
Kirkland at End Said What happened Damm Hurt him knockout woke And Said What Happened LoL
Boxers after Canelo fights are never the same.
Montiel actually sets up his punches nicely!
Kirkland was like what happened right after he got up. Way past his prime. He had a good run but them layoffs caught up to him. Good fighter in his day. Wish he would of stayed with Ann Wolfe and won a couple of titles.
Anytime Kirkland smiles and eggs on his opponent you know he's done, someone should really tell him to stop that.
Definitely a warrior but it's over my dude.
He's getting what he deserves for punishing his sparring partner the way he did totally unnecessary check out the video
Canelo really did affect to Kirkland right people? :/
All those mexican supplements...
Nope, it was all that sparring he did with Ann wolfe...
@@joelopez1770 not even TF Canelo Alvarez ended his career
@@elmassloco2377 Kirkland was shot way before he fought canelo that's why canelo fought him in the first place.
Was shot way before.
Canelo really fucked him up. he's never been the same.
Damn I feel for Kirkland!
Look forward to Charlo vs. Montiel. . . Sad to see James Kirkland like this. I remember when he beat Eromosele Albert
It's a SHAME to see a once promising good Boxer end up like this.I guess he needs the money.
Well it was fast. Fue rápido.
6:14 kirkland what appen? No supo ni quien le pego.
Esta pelea fue antes o despues que Kirkland peleara con Canelo?
Mucho despues El fue Bueno pero se perdio con El money que agarro yo creo
I was watching some old Kirkland fights. I didn’t even realize he fought after the canelo fight.
Bro idc that montiel lost afterwards or if he never fights again that is the smoothest boxer I've seen in this century
Montiel made the commentators speak too soon , prior the first knock down 😉.
Main lessons in boxing, a young prospect if he hangs around to long he will become an ole contender.
The fact that Kirkland was even sanctioned to fight again shows how boxing is more of a cash grabbing spectacle than a sport. He's one of the most punch drunk fighters in recent history. People have no concern for fighter safety.
Oh my Charlo is gonna kill this dude😬
es mexicano ten respeto
@@carloscotatesla6379 y QUE? Mexicano o no
@@chinchecker464 los mexicanos siempre nos poenne abajo pero terminamos rompiendoles toda la cara. eso pa
man James used to have better skills … he started relying too much on power and forgot about basics like jab & angles… i wish him nothing but the best what a warrior this Montiel is someone to keep an eye out for💪🔥
The beans really hit hard be careful. Mexican power
I feel bad for Kirkland, ever since he suffered a DEVASTATING Knockout by Canelo Alvarez, Kirklands career was over. The Ref, and his corner have no concerns for Kirklands life. Kirkland needs to retire.
Kirkland beyond shot...thankfully this was his last fight...
Is Juan Montiel related to Fernando Montiel, the former flyweight and bantamweight champion? Both from Los Mochis. Edit: after doing some research confirmed that yes, Fernando Montiel is his uncle.
Kingnelo out here ending careers lol and now hes (Kirkland) afraid of us 🇲🇽🇺🇸✊🏼👑😈🥊🥊🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Don’t forget who gave Ho-Nelo that 0.
@@NoOne-gk8go ong they needa rematch wait nvm
If he ended Kirkland’s career,why is he in the ring fighting!
@@NoOne-gk8go canelo wouldn’t be as good if he didn’t lose to mayweather tho so idk where you are going with this
"What happened?" Don't ask.
Kirkland give it up bro..
Kirkland is a good guy. His family needs to protect him.
Kirkland was done after the canelo fight and no Ann wolfe
They gotta stop letting these guys fight after they start showing brain trauma.
you cant count every fight like that a boxer is trained to take hits and trained to defend them in EVERY WAY possible. i have had 100's of fgihts and i've been boxing since a 6 year old graduated with a 4.0 grade point averag from kindergarten gotten rocked if theres a three knockdown rule and after the third knockdwn the fight was over in the first round. get it together and learn how to box
nahim bishop 🤣🤣🤣 Judging by the way you wrote your comment I am truly convinced that YOU have CTE and has never seen a 4.0 GPA attached to anything that you have ever done in school in your life. Now get it together and learn how to read spell and write🤣🤣🤣.
If you watch some of Kirkland's sparring sessions as a younger man, he absolutely, brutally punched out his sparring partners. Therefore I have little sympathy for him, this is Karma.
He needed to stay with Ann Wolfe
Ann Wolfe made him sparr crazy heavy...she's the reason he is so damaged.
@@joelopez1770 idk about that bro, I don’t think he could handle the training she was putting him through, understandably. But he didn’t lose a fight when he was with her as soon as he left that dog went too.
@@jasonsellers6025 i saw several sparrings
@@jasonsellers6025 Ann wolfe didn't know wtf she was doing she made this man into brain dead come forward no defense punching bag
Unfortunately for Kirkland ,chin can’t be trained!
Veremos que hace Montiel contra Charlo
Montiel lo noqueará
Hahaha mira como Montiel se para vale pa pura v... el charlo lo va noquear fácil
Forget this lame fight. Put up Charlo v Derevyanchenko. That was a good one.
Break-in those gloves so you can feel the knuckle
The first knockdown was just like the ishida one
Canelo took his soul and his chin...
Montiel arms is long as hell
So satisfying to watch this The way that dude treated his sparring partners was disgusting. Guy had it comin
Kirkland : yo what happened 🤦🏻
5:09 he's not fooling around smh, it's creating a distraction like a feint. Making him think. It's part of his style, rhythm. It IS being smart, silly call from the commentator.
As Soon as montiel did that lil wind up he had to say that lame as comment
I was in jail when I watched this fight, la virgen de guadalupe in the pocho of montiel and his performance got me motivated, thank God
Got u motivated for ??
@@lorenzomarin6763 motivated to keep going forward, to not let bad decisions push you down but learn and be better person.
@@raulceron7921 💯 I hear u
KARMA on KIRKLAND when he bullied his sparring partner 😁
Kirkland needs to retire
Give it up Kirkland
Whoa yeah Im exited to fight Jermall Charlo
Montiel gonna get knocked out shits sad cause they talk mad shit about Canelo “fighting cab drivers” but Montiel has the worst stance I’ve ever seen in boxing why don’t they hold charlo accountable how they talk crap about Canelo
I heard asked "what happened"
whats? TAN facil?
Damm montiel went from this to a questionable loss to charlo.
He should have kept Ann Wolfe as his trainer
Sad for Kirkland... somebody needs to be on his side to make sure he don't lace them up again
Makes you think like dam no wonder canelo kod him liek that this dude a walk-in punching bag
@6:12 Kirkland says, "what happened "!
Kirkland,JuanMa Lopez,Peter Quillin the same thing happen to them after being loss by KO they are never the same again.
He was always so hyped up. Never showed anything special
This is what happens when you only think Attack, attack, attack. There's going to be shots coming back at you. You gotta train for that too.
Kirkland jaw made of clouds 😂😂😂😂
What’s up with Kirkland 🙁🙁🙁
22-22
James Kirkland was great warriors, but after leaving his first trainer, the lady Wolf, everything fall apart for him.
Early stoppage.
Debio retirarse hace ya como 6 años atras
He need to hang up those gloves
Mandingo got served, wow. He was tough but all them layoffs AND nada training
His brain is trying to tell him something
Kirkland ya debe retirarse ya cualquiera lo noquea y en los round iniciales so ya quitate y deja de ser un escalon
Damn did Kirkland really say what happend?? 😔 a real trainer should turn him away if he wants to continue after this.
Poor Kirk...... time to say bye....
He said what happened and I said the something
The problem with James k., Canelo Alvarez. Nuff said
